Infant Learning Toys, Unique Baby Shower Gifts & European Wooden Toys

About Us

Born and raised in Europe, I grew up with and around a wide variety of well crafted, natural toys, often simple in nature that were either made of wood or soft fabrics. The toys were so well made that my 4 year younger brother was able to enjoy the same ones I had once played with. European toys are not only made of natural materials but also natural finishes that you can feel confident giving to the youngest of children. The toys are further crafted in a way that they encourage the imagination, creativity, and development of fine motor skills so important during each age group.

In early adulthood I came to the United States to study, but soon met my husband-to-be and we started a life together in California. Many years passed and we were both busy finishing our educations, traveling, and eventually working on our careers before having our first child. Like any other expectant mother I started shopping early for our unborn child and to my surprise noticed that the toys found in stores were very different from the toys I grew up with. I was discouraged, but settled for some popular plastic toys.

When our son was several months old we made a trip to Europe to visit family and friends. While there I noticed that my friends’ children had toys that were very different from the toys we had in the U.S., and so much more similar to the toys I myself had experienced growing up. It made me realize that times hadn’t changed in Europe, as I had previously convinced myself had to be the case, and that the same toys I grew up with were still in high demand. It became apparent to me that the plastic toys were mass-produced and manufactured in cheapest possible manner by a few select American companies, who managed to control the American market due to their cost effectiveness.

In an instant I made up my mind that not only wasn’t I going to subject my own child to such toys, but I also wanted to make sure others with the same worries had the same opportunities to provide their children with safe toys as well. Goblin Kids became a reality after several months of hard work. In the meantime, I threw out my son’s old toys and replaced them with their beautiful and safe counterparts from various European countries. I decided that a smaller but better selection of natural, creative toys would make up for the price difference.

My hope is to help anyone interested in providing their kids with safe and natural toys to do so and I’m looking forward to any feedback, suggestions and comments that you may have.
